Today, Dr. Davina explores a habit we all fall into: resisting spontaneity. We tend to cling to routines, schedules, and plans because the unknown feels risky, uncertain, and uncomfortable. But what if avoiding spontaneity is keeping us from the very opportunities we’re longing for? Dr. Davina reminds us that spontaneity isn’t about being reckless, it’s about being open. When you step outside of routine, you step into possibility. In those unplanned moments, doors open, connections are made, and opportunities appear that you never could have scripted.She also challenges the belief that safety and predictability equal success. Instead, she explains how the courage to say “yes” to the unexpected can unlock creativity, spark new relationships, and reveal paths you didn’t even know existed. Spontaneity doesn’t remove the unknown, it transforms it into potential.In this episode of Dr. Davina’s Dots, you’ll hear a spoken message paired with soothing jazz designed to help you pause, reflect, and reimagine what’s possible when you embrace the unplanned. This reflective mix of words and music will encourage you to let go of resistance, open yourself to spontaneity, and discover new paths of creativity, connection, and courage.Musical Selections include:Slow it DownJudah Sealy  ShimmerMerlin Devine Reverse Marcus Anderson  Curiosity Rene Junior  Be Blessed (No Stress) Bob Baldwin  Kickin itJeff Lorber  If I could fly Vincent Ingala  Bright Moments Ahead Michael Ross  Let it Flow Eric Darius  LemonadeJeff Logan  Thrill Ride Ragan Whiteside  The night is long Pavel M  Next Time Julian Vaughn  Jeff Logan Indigo
